Threads relating to this seem to be old/closed so I'll start a new one. I booked Hilton Garden Inn Arlington/Courthouse Plaza via Expedia during a "third night free" deal. Total price was USD$662.10. HH website showing the exact same room (there aren't many types) with exact same conditions...

Well it's new to me at least. Trying to get from Hamburg to Abu Dhabi. No luck with VA points but QF tosses up an EK flight paired with a bus to Abu Dhabi that also had an EK number. Booked it. Got confirmation, booking ref, fees pending from credit card, shows up in MMB etc- but no ticket...

Trying to book DFW-LHR for 4 pax in whY in June using QFF points and the QF site (one-way and multicity) shows nothing. AA shows plenty of availability as does the JAL site (although that doesn't seem straightforward for a new member these days). Does this mean that the seats can't/won't be...

Travelling to Kimbe/Hoskin (HKN) in PNG in September to bag a Black Bass and a Spot Tail Bass. I'm trying to understand the relationship between QF and PX, if any. The route is CBR-BNE-POM-HKN return. POM-HKN is on PX domestic. CBR-BNE could be QF or even VA, while BNE-POM could be PX or...

Looks like VA have upped the fees for partner redemptions and, apparently, the number of miles required. I say apparently because the link in the email I received leads to a page that shows the table for flights booked up to 4 Oct 2022 is the same as the one for flights booked from 5 Oct 2022...

Anyone care to fling me a referral code for Placie pls?

Anyone get and/or go for a 100k flybuys points offer for minimum $500 balance transfer at 2.9% (for 3 years)? These ready credit offers come thick and fast but always have a set up fee of $199. Not usually enticing as I have no need for a BT but this one suggests a profit of around $300, less...

This offer appeared on my Premier card on the app:

Now that check-to-self is a thing of the past, I was thinking it might be possible to have the BT transferred from the QF card to one of my other credit cards, then request the money transferred elsewhere from there. Any holes in the theory? I'm nervous about putting a credit card into such a...

Seeking advice for seat selection for the following confirmed redemptions for the wee wife and I: 1. SQ288 CBR - SIN in J, 777-300ER with 2013 J seat/config 2. SQ856 SIN - HKG in J, A380-800 with 2017 J seat/config 3. SQ001HKG - SIN in F, 777-300ER with 2013 F seat/config 4. SQ231 SIN - SYD...

I'm hiring a campervan in Australia and looking at insurance options. If I pay with my ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures visa card, I'll be covered for excess up to $5k, unless this: "We will not pay: 1. for the collision excess, where the full amount payable by you under the rental vehicle...

I made only one booking for my family of four during the promo. We each got 2,509 points. So where did the other 24,990,000-odd points go? Brag away....

Does anyone know the redemption rates to airline partners for Macquarie Rewards points? I can't obtain this info online unless I've got a login and I'm not a Macquarie customer yet. The current sign on bonus is 60k points for their Black card but I can't establish their worth.

A recent one day hire with Hertz from SYD saw the quoted $20 location fee balloon to $32 because that fee is calculated as a percentage of the total rental cost. So if you use their tolls, do additional kms, baby seats, gps, extra fuel etc etc - the location fee increases accordingly. I'd...

https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Specials/monthly-deals/ In the T&C's, it says minimum monthly premium must be $80 and points are paid after 6 months. Pretty coughpy deal really, which is probably why I couldn't find anything about it here. Posting just in case someone is needing...

EFTPOS, credit card surcharges: Excessive fees to be banned across all businesses - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) There's a fairly strong disincentive to accept AmEx over other methods especially if the fee is much higher. Not that that doesn't exist now. There is...

Anyone know how frequently these birds use SYD? QF or VA don't fly them anymore according to their fleet info on the web, but I can't find much info on other airlines. Seems as though they're being phased out for passengers, or already are, and may have become freight planes. For context, I...

It's freaking me out! I'm sure he's a fine dude with great things to say but is there a way to toggle this ad? I've tried hiding but it pops up in every thread I look at. Hard NOT to feel watched.....

Hi folks, My client has booked me on a EY Economy (K) fare. My departure is too soon to do anything about it but I was hoping I might be able to upgrade the CGD-AUH-MEL legs after transferring AmEx MR points to Etihad Guest. I won't bother to join EG if I can't upgrade K and/or win a QF-esque...

On Wednesday, I'm flying EY CBR - BNE - AUH - CDG vv but via MEL on the way back. I only got the ticket this evening and it's Economy (K) which earns at discount Y. I've not flown EY before nor long haul as a VA gold. I may transfer some AmEx points to Etihad Guest (of which I'm not a member...
